Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSuresh Pokharel is a Lecturer and Ph.D. in Computing and Information Sciences from RIT who applies nine years of experience in AI/ML and bioinformatics to bridge computational methods and biological discovery. His research sits at the intersection of machine learning and computational biology, with practical industry experience developing codon-optimization tools for mRNA therapeutics at Bayer and deep learning models for predicting protein post-translational modifications. He combines academic rigor from consecutive graduate research roles with hands-on software engineering—building APIs, handling large pharmaceutical datasets, and exploring genetic-algorithm frameworks—to produce interpretable, scalable models for biomedical problems. Based in Rochester, NY, he brings cross-disciplinary fluency (data science, bioinformatics, disaster analytics) and a track record of turning literature review insights into improved tooling and evaluation on real-world datasets.
